White House Renovation.
President Trump extends his White House makeover to include the main entrance columns.
President Donald Trump is extending his makeover of the White House to the columns outside the building's main entrance, according to Tribune. The renovation project is the latest in a series of changes Trump has made to the presidential residence since returning to office.
Workers have begun ramping up the project at the iconic North Portico entrance, NWI Times reported. The columns are among the most recognizable architectural features of the White House, making the work one of the more visible changes to the historic building.
Trump's Sweeping Makeover of the White House
Trump has made no secret of his desire to put his stamp on the White House. The column renovation is part of a broader effort to reshape the look of the presidential home. Bismarck Tribune noted the project is now ramping up in scale, suggesting more visible changes are coming soon.
The White House has undergone several rounds of renovation over the years. Past presidents have made interior and exterior updates. Trump's current round of changes focuses on some of the building's most prominent features, including the entrance columns that face Pennsylvania Avenue.
Entrance Columns Are Among the Most Iconic Features
The columns at the main entrance of the White House are a defining part of the building's look. They are part of the North Portico, which faces the street and is seen in countless photos and broadcasts. Any changes there are immediately noticeable to the public and the press.
Buffalo News reported the renovation is now underway. The work signals that Trump's makeover plans are moving beyond interior spaces and into the building's most public-facing exterior elements.
A Pattern of Personal Touches on the Presidency
Trump has long favored gold tones, marble finishes, and bold visual statements in his properties. Since returning to the White House, he has pushed to put a personal mark on the residence. The column project fits that pattern, extending his redesign efforts to the building's front facade.
Tulsa World confirmed the renovation is in progress. The full scope of the column work — including what changes will be made to their appearance — has not yet been detailed publicly by the White House.
